Well now... certainly not a singer one would see on America's Got Talent...but then, perhaps the tinny sound was due to the recording technology of the time...Cheers, RickO
The late, great Busby Berkeley! A choreographic genius.
Singer was Ginger Rogers.
So hip hop wasn’t the first to obsess over money?

I have a minor in film and remember seeing that movie in a film history class in the early 1980s.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Indeed!
I have a few collectables from that movie -
a coin promoting it, a few print ads (not
in newspapers), and a few other things
I can't find around here.

"Gold Diggers of 1933", the top "Coins in Movies" film:

All of those young women appearing in this pre-code depression era musical film are probably long gone. All glory is fleeting.
They'd be about 116 years old so a bit younger than your average CU poster.
The Nation tried very hard to stir up moral during the dark days of the Depression. By 1933 things did start to slowly turn around.
Still, there's probably more coins in the movie than were actually minted by the United States Mints in 1933.
